Description: View of the Premonstratensian Church between the Rue de Sèvres and the Rue du Cherche-Midi in the Faubourg Saint-Germain, as designed in 1661 by François d'Orbay (demolished in 1719). The arms of Anne of Austria, who commissioned the work, and the bas-relief of the attic (The Eucharist Carried by the Angels) were sculpted by Étienne Le Hongre (see Hautecoeur, Histoire de l'architecture classique en France, 1948, vol. 2, p. 121).
